Well I can't really comment on Douglas as I'm sure he is aware of the facts but the rest is spot on. Education is key here.

Totally agree. Fasting can be an excellent approach to reversing T2D. Intermittent fasting can work very well. The 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet restricted you to 800 calories on low carb high fat and I have to say I never really felt hungry. I took to it really well. Best thing I ever did and just...

It's such a shame for those that don't isn't it. I would spend all day discussing how to help a T2 diabetic reverse their condition but I all I ask is that they show determination to do it. I'm doing some great work with the NHS at the moment putting patients through the low carb high fat...

Apologies, I didn't mean to preach but you asked the questions so I answered. For me I didn't want to be diabetic for life and would do anything to reverse it. It's all a lifestyle choice and you've made yours. The great thing is you've made that choice based on the facts. The sad thing for me...

A calorie isn't a calorie which means that for example the sugar corp will have you believe that 100 cals of almonds and 100 cals of coke are exactly the same. They truly aren't and your body will process them in a completely different way. I struggle to eat more than around 1200 calories a day...

Don't get me wrong, I don't live like a saint and will enjoy the odd day here and there with high carb content but my insulin sensitivity has improved and deals with higher levels of carbs/sugar returning my blood sugar to normal levels effectively. What we must be careful with here is thinking...

I don't believe that eating 300g of carbs is standard. It may be the current/old advice but it's poor advice, and that's for most people, not just diabetics.

Great advice :) Hopefully by keeping track of your blood sugar levels you can get off the medication in time by working with your GP. It's a dietary condition and should be treated as such rather than be pumped full of pills if they can be avoided.

It sounds like you're doing really well and are well on top of your medication. It's not easy though is it. Out of interest, are you hoping to reduce your insulin over time or have you already begun doing so with your approach?

I only eat complex carbs such as leafy greens and avoid all refined carbs plus sugar. I keep under 50g if possible most days. I also mix in with fasting days once a week which is actually far easier than I thought it would be. Once you're eating low carb and high healthy fat it's pretty easy to...

Hi Paul, it really isn't about cutting out fat. Healthy fat will keep you satisfied for longer and low fat products replace the fat with sugar usually and you definitely want to avoid that. Happy to discuss how to reverse your diabetes, hopefully very quickly, if you would like me to. My email...

It's possible to exercise on low carb. I'm currently training for a half marathon and once I had adapted to fat burning rather than glucose I've had no issues. I agree though that the right complex carbs are beneficial for health. I wouldn't allow any refined carbs or sugar near my body nowadays...

It's a guide, that's all. Anyone who wants to know how their body reacts can pick up a kit very cheaply to know for sure.

Hi Kristin, no I finished the 8 weeks of low carb 800 calories before Christmas. The meals are so tasty and very simple to make. I would never go back to eating pasta, rice, potatoes, grains and sugar again. Well may be the odd treat but back on it the next day. Such a healthy lifestyle but as...

Yes I have. Off metformin after 1 week. It's the best thing I've ever done. Have you tried it yet?

My advice is certainly to cut carbs but the key for me is making mealtimes interesting. Buy yourself a simple recipe book. Dr Michael Mosley's 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet worked wonders for me but have a look around and see what suits your lifestyle. The meals can be so tasty without refined carbs...

Your blood sugars generally continue to rise up to an hour after eating and then begin falling.
